All 3 Darcy Brothers in one amazing set! This collection of stories will leave your heart full and breathless for more.
The Darcy Brothers Box Set features each one of the Darcy Brothers and the women who brought them to their knees.
Book 1: Find You in Paris is loosely based on one my favorite stories, Pride and Prejudice. Find You in Paris follows the story of Sebastian and Diane. And I gotta tell you, there is nothing I love more than the fake marriage troupe and this one was no exception. Find You in Paris is filled with the push and pull I was looking for and an undeniable passion.
Book 2: Raphael’s Fling follows the story of Raphael and Mia. And let me tell you, this one totally gives you a run for your money. A hot and arrogant CEO and a bookish assistant….How can you possibly go wrong…..
Book 3: The Perfect catch follows the story of Noah and Sophie. Now, this one started off a bit slower for me than the first two books, but once I got into it, I was hooked. I adored Noah and Sophie together. I loved their chemistry and enjoyed watching them try to navigate their way through the feelings that they had for one another.
Overall, I really enjoyed this box set. Each book captivated my attention and had me quickly turning the pages. I loved meeting all the characters and falling in love with their stories. I couldn’t get enough of watching these rich, powerful, complicated men fall in love and have their worlds totally turned upside down. This series is my first read by this author and I look forward to checking out more from her in the future.

I'm not super familiar with Ms. Nichols' work, but after digging into THE DARCY BROTHERS boxed set. I'm all in!
FIND YOU IN PARIS
If there's anyone who loathes Sebastian Darcy more than Diane Petit, she'd love to plot his demise with them. Darcy has ruined Diane's father's business, his marriage and his health, and she will have her revenge. In a convoluted plot by Darcy to both help make amends, and to ferret out a traitor in his circle, he convinces Diane to enter into a faux relationship. Darcy is incredulous, the two of them mix as well as vodka and good decisions, but then she sees the opportunity laid into her lap to find some seriously damming information on Darcy to ruin his life like he ruined her fathers. But when push comes to shove, can she go through with her plan?
I really adored FIND YOU IN PARIS! It was sexy and funny, and I loved the dichotomy of the dreamy Parisian artist and the unyielding businessman. Both suspicious of the other, both with their own agenda and both fully opposed to any sort of "real" relationship. Watching their relationship evolve from unveiled loathing to lust to love was something I could really root for!
RAPHAEL'S FLING
CEO of D'Arcy Consulting and consummate playboy Raphael D'Arcy has captivated assistant Mia Stoll since she met the engaging man. The same could be said for Raphael's feelings on Mia. The two are just casual, a FWB type relationship that Mia can't see going anywhere good. She's tried to keep her feelings out of it, but damn it, the beautiful man has made her fall for him, a situation she never wanted to be in. And when a specter from her past rears its ugly head and her future is suddenly laid out in front of her? It's all too much. Mia has some tough decisions to make, ones that'll affect everyone she loves in so many ways.
I absolutely adored RAPHAEL'S FLING! I loved Mia, I loved Raphael, I loved the secondary cast of characters, I loved everything about it! The two of them had such fab chemistry that I couldn't stop flipping furiously trying to soak up this story as fast as possible! And the twists and turns were just excellent…I mean, from Lily to Genevieve to Gaspard to Mia's parents, everything was fresh and new (to me). This was one excellent addition to The Darcy Brothers trilogy!
THE PERFECT CATCH
When American Sophie Bander decides to move to Paris for a few months to sharpen her real estate skills, she has no inclination that she'll meet the first man who has ever, EVER, made her feel desire. Sophie is sure she's frigid, and she's A-OK with that, but Water Polo player Noah Masson throws everything she thinks she knows out the window. As their Parisian affair becomes something more, Noah knows he'll have to 'fess up about his family and his past, something he walked away from years ago.
This was a super sweet ending to The Darcy Brothers trilogy! I dug Noah and Sophie's relationship, from their heated first meeting to their HEA. I loved how he coaxed her out of her supposedly frigid shell, opening her up into the passionate woman he saw underneath. I did NOT care for Marguerite, and even though she's the Darcy brothers' mother and only played bit parts in the first 2 stories, her duplicity shines through in THE PERFECT CATCH.
This is a fun, sexy box set that fans of contemporary romance will totally adore!
Bottom Line: No OM/OW or sharing; condom use; no BDSM/kink; no sexual assault; no violence/murder.

Find You in Paris
The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. I've always heard that it's a shorter distance from hate to love than it is from no particular feeling at all. And Diane proves that here in a spectacular fashion as constant exposure to Sebastian slowly changes her first impressions of the man. Sebastian himself badly needs to learn how to let people in. He's spent so much time behind his masks that all he's able to show the world is his aristocratic 'stiff upper lip'. These two are fun together with all the snarky sniping back and forth. The humor was right up my alley: a little sarcastic and just a bit irreverent. The mysterious nemesis that haunts them through the story brings an element of intrigue and added drama.
Raphael's Fling
There's just something about Raphael that I've loved since he first appeared in the previous book. His joie de vivre leaps off the page and wraps around everyone near him, the reader included. Even though he's very casual in his personal life, you can tell he takes his family and business very seriously. I loved seeing his personal growth through the story. While I loved the book, I kind of think Mia's an idiot. Book smart but not so much common sense. That may have something to do with the, at least, decade of life experience I have on her. I just can't figure out why she let other people have so much power over her. I understand wanting to protect your heart and prevent embarrassment. I understand all too well. But, her solution didn't solve anything. I was very glad when she owned up to her actions with the important people in her life. I also enjoyed the cameo appearances of Sebastian and Diane. It was very interesting to see some of the scenes from their 'courtship' from the outside.
The Perfect Catch
I loved the chemistry between Noah and Sophie. They didn't do a very good job for two people who were trying to keep a relationship casual. My reality-TV-loving heart really enjoyed watching the pair try to untangle their feelings for each other as well as the other partners that kept being thrown at them. I didn't enjoy how unfinished the d'Arcy family drama remains. We spent the first two books learning about Sebastian and Raphael and how badly they want to reconnect with Noah, but there's very little in this volume to explain why Noah's shutting his brothers out. And the reconciliation at the end felt incomplete to me. The antics of some of the secondary characters are completely hilarious. Oscar the dog and Noah's neighbors being the funniest of the lot. I would love to read more about this family to see where they get to in a few years time.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.

The Darcy Brothers: The Complete Series (Humorous Contemporary Romance Box Set) by Alix Nichols
Alix Nichols is a new discovery of mine. Little by little I have been trying her books and it looks like I've found a winner. A good read to me has three main characteristics: the main characters have to entrance me, the story has to captivate me and it has to be a feast for the senses. Seduction is a good start but it needs to offer more emotion than heat. I am voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of The Darcy Brothers series. The Darcy Brothers series gave me exactly what I needed to fall in love. A tempting hero, a spirited heroine all held together by heart. Ms. Nichols sets out to charm and that is a temptation in itself. The Darcy Men are mysterious, mischievous and masterful at controlling their own destiny. It takes women of strength to show them that vulnerability is not a weakness but an aphrodisiac. Anytime I start reading and finish a novel in one sitting, it has to be good.

Having previously read the individual stories about the French D'Arcy brothers, I am pleased to review the set. There's just something about a man named D'Arcy--even if the brothers shortened their very long aristocratic name from D'Arcy to just plain Darcy. Book 1 is the story of Sebastian and Diane. What a lovely read! Book 2 is the love affair between Raphael and Mia. An excellent read that brings out strong emotions. Book 3 is the sleeper--you think the story is about Noah and Sophie...but the divorced parents, lifelong friends, and France at its finest...well there's never a moment to breathe. This set is an excellent buy and you should definitely 1-Click this set today! (I voluntarily reviewed and advance reader copy of this set and enjoyed the books all over again!) ❤️

A fun box of brothers and their tales in love. Sweet romances that will keep you turning the pages asking for more! If you're a fan of romances that play off one another, then this is a box set for you! I found Nichols writing to be fantastic and I would gladly read more from this author in the future. Lovely character work!

I really enjoyed this series. It helps to read them altogether in order. I'm learning that alix Nichols writes in the same world. So you see characters from other books even if the stories aren't exactly linked. Like this one, Chloe from the Devil's Own Chloe is mentioned. Also book 3 here overlaps with the next series book one in Playing to Win. I wish the 3rd story was a little longer though. Actually all of them I would have liked more. But the 3rd one in particular seemed to resolved too quickly
September 15, 2017
A very well story box of stories. I liked the writing style of Alix Nichols and the use of words. It captivates me from early in the books.
I like when a book has dual POVs and the second story would have gained a lot with the POV of Raphaels.
All three books have strong character descriptions and they develop through out the stories in a good way.
There is chemistry, hot scenes, passion, lust, drama, unexpected twists and emotional ups and downs. All three stories are very captivating and has a touch to them that makes you want to read them in one sitting.
I can only recommend this box set.

Review by April...
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS
This box set includes three standalone stories that were originally published individually. Each story is about one of three brothers.
The first story is Sebastian's and is and enemy to lovers story. Sebastian is the oldest of the brothers and has always had the brunt of the responsibility on his hands. His and Diane's story contains love, hate, and everything in between. This story has a bit of everything including a bit of mystery and of course secrets. The story is well written as well as fun and easy to read. The hate Diane has for Sebastian is palpable at the beginning of the book and understandable until details begin to surface for the reader. Sebastian is determined to get what he wants and needs from Diane and treats much of it like a business transaction at first. The two individuals begin to see one another's hidden depths and soon discover that it is difficult to hold on to that hate and dislike.
The second story is Raphael and Mia's. Raphael is a notorious womanizer and Mia is a nerdy girl with a past she is trying to keep hidden. The central question throughout this story is whether Raphael can change his ways, accept Mia's past, and actually love and be faithful. The first story gave the reader a glimpse of Raphael's notorious ways so there is no surprise about Mia's concerns or how their relationship is being handled at the beginning of this book. My one problem with this story is that Mia is so very smart, yet I feel like she makes silly and immature decisions at times that logic would tell her makes no sense. Mia has to become strong enough to handle her past, present, and future while Raphael has to recognize what he really wants from Mia and their relationship if they are to have a future together.
The third story is Noah and Sophie's. Noah is the youngest of the three brothers and has nothing to do with either of his brothers, his brother's family, or the inheritance he received from his father's estate. Noah has to decide whether he should do what is expected and give a relationship with a long time, accepted family friend a try or if he is willing to go for what he truly finds intriguing and fulfilling for himself. Sophie has a similar struggle as she needs to decide if she will do what is expected of her or if she will step outside her own box and find out surprising and new things that will turn her world upside down and force her to recognize she may not be exactly who she always thought she was.
Overall, all three stories are fun and easy to read. The characters are ones we can all relate to in some way which makes it easy to identify with their emotions. Each story was very different in plot and had its own strengths and relationship explorations. I do wish that we had been given more detail on a few of the situations simply because I feel like it would have only increased the interest for the reader, but there was always enough information to understand and get the gist of the overall feeling.

What I enjoyed most about Find You in Paris is watching two people who will go all out for the things they believe in, while Sebastian is looking for the person that set his father up years ago and ruined his family Diane is willing to become her own detective to find dirt on him and set him straight. Both Sebastian and Diane never thought there would be more between them besides for the hate and dislike and great sex, but with time they learned the truth about the other and how they are not as horrible as they once thought about the other.
What I enjoyed most about Raphael's Fling was watching Mia stand up for her beliefs even if they were short lived where Raphael came in but she felt this thing with him that she had never felt before and she figured she would enjoy it while she could, because he wasnt a relationships guy he was a fling kinda guy. Seeing Raphael sticking around a lot longer when it came to Mia then any other woman out there, seeing how sweet and caring he was towards her and in tune with her feelings.
What I enjoyed most about The Perfect Catch is watching two people who live their lives in a specific way find each other and learn each other slowly and then watching them fall in love with each other without knowing what the future will bring them, watching Sophie come out of her shell and make an effort when it comes to a man, and seeing Noah at first wanting to set her up with his good friend but wanting to keep her for himself as his feelings run deeper then he first thought.
This d'Arcy Brother box set was amazing, you got to learn about each brother and what makes them tick, then you got to watch each brother fall in love. If you like stories like this, then The Darcy Brothers The Complete series is a must!

FIND YOU IN PARIS (Darcy Bros No. 1). War of the Attar of Roses aka The Parfumers Feud
This is the definition of a fun and sexy read based around a french eatery 'La Boheme' and the people who work there, eat there and their friends and family.
Sebastian Darcy, along with his two younger brothers have inherited their late father's various assets, and in Sebastian's case Parfums d'Arcy, a billion dollar business. His business acuman is sharp, and those people who's businesses he wants to get involved in either go with him or get out of the way, or, go under.
Diane Petit's father learned the hard way. He was a well regarded parfumer, a true artisan who created the signature fragrances that he sold, and also created for others. Spurning Sebastians's business offer, things go bad for her father who then suffers a stroke. He blames Sebastian, and Diane, not knowing the full story, goes out of her way to embarrass the oldest Darcy brother.
She must get in line, however, as it transpires that someone else is out to bring down the Darcy name. Sebastian has a plan, and he needs Diane to make it work. The characters created by Alix are well developed and fun to read about. I have only just started reading her books, and it is great to revisit names already known to me, although it is not necessary to have read previous books. It is sad to see the effect that one person with a greviance that is possibly mis-guided, can wreak on a family. Well I didn't see it coming anyway.
I loved Diane and Sebastian, as well as their friends and acquaintances at La Boheme and recommend it as a great read.
RAPHAEL’S FLING (Darcy Bros No 2). Can a recidivist playboy finally find love?
This is the second book in the Darcy Brothers series, and continues to build on the people and friends of the La Boheme eatery books.
Mia Stoll is assistant to the daily bulletin editor at D’Arcy Consulting and Audit. She’s made a couple of decent mistakes in her life, the least of them being involved in an affair that violates her own personal code of honour – sleeping with the boss. The BIG mistake, from five years ago in college, is her own personal secret, that if revealed, may result in the devastation of her parents’ love and support for her, along with her credibility as she prepares to complete her doctoral program and defend her thesis, which is about the history of Prostitution in Medieval Paris.
The middle D’Arcy brother is CEO Raphael D’Arcy, and it is he, the boss’s boss’s boss with whom Mia is having a fling. Even though they are keeping things casual and on the down-low, Mia knows that Raphael is a recidivist playboy, knows it is going no-where and is trying to create some space between them, something that Raphael is not yet ready for, even though the time they’ve spent together has outlasted any of his previous liaisons to date.
With a mother as a church Pastor, and a father who adamantly respects the calling his wife has chosen, and both of whom still believe that Mia and her sister Eva, lead pure lives, Mia is aware of her parents disappointment should they find out about her sexual history and, thus it is only Eva who is aware of Raphael’s involvement in Mia’s life.
Adding to her stress is contact in the form of some very vague letters from someone who seems like they are leading up to blackmail, and she thinks her five year old secret is the reason why. When the perpetrator finally reveals himself, her worst fears are realised, and his demands are despicable.
There is only one option left for her – to run.
Raphael’s Fling is a hot and fun book with a side of intrigue, and will also appeal to those readers who have love Alix’s other books surrounding La Boheme. There is also an element of second chances. I am also going back to read past books to find out the back stories of some of the other characters, and absolutely adore the loyalty they all share among them. 4.5 Stars
THE PERFECT CATCH (Darcy Bros No 3). Sweet and spicy romance from the third D’Arcy brother.
Noah Masson, the third and youngest of the Darcy brothers, has inherited his share of their late father's trust and various assets. In Noah’s case, the Chateau D’Arcy is his, a place he hasn’t visited since his mother left his father, taking him and leaving behind Noah’s two older brothers. He’s chosen to let it go to rack and ruin, rather than acknowledge the betrayal of his father and brothers, or his family’s legacy.
Unfortunately for him, the view from his ‘Maman’ was biased and untruthful, as she saw fit to punish and alienate her husband and her older son’s who stayed with him. Her outright lies have turned Noah against his brothers, and even when Sebastian’s wife, Diane (Find You In Paris) reaches out to him, he remains distant.
Sophie Bander, originally from Key West, is spending 6 months in France with her mother, while doing an internship at a local real estate agency. She’s taking a break from her extremely over-protective father to start her career in real estate on her own terms and not under the umbrella of her father’s business. When she goes back, she’ll marry the man of her father’s choice to build up the Key West real estate business, because she’s not interested, and doesn’t believe in exciting sex or love. He’s also started her property portfolio off for her in purchasing an already leased out building and now she’s Noah’s new landlady.
Knowing him only as Noah Masson, an elite Water Polo player whose team is gunning for a world title, and, who delivers pizza’s to earn some cash, they begin to spend time together, and the growing chemistry between them is palpable. Noah asks for her knowledge in giving him advice to help his ‘friend’ sell the Chateau D’Arcy family mansion because the ‘friend’ needs the money, where instead she fall in love with it, advising his ‘friend’ to keep it in the family at all costs.
Love isn’t as easy thing to pull off when one person hides their family background, and the respective overbearing and controlling parents get involved when their original plans appear to get derailed.
As always, Alix has beautifully written a relatively quick light-hearted, and sweet story that also includes updates on Sebastian and Raphael’s lives and their respective ladies. The banter between the main and secondary characters is funny and real, and I can honestly say that I love all of her books and have never been disappointed. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book. 4.5 Stars.

Poor imitation
There are three books in this bundled Darcy Brothers series that I borrowed from Kindled Unlimited. It’s summer and the first story, a take on Pride and Prejudice, sounded like a fun beach read. Unfortunately, it emulates P&P only to the extent that there is an elitist hero and a more egalitarian heroine, neither of which are very believability or interestingly executed. This is pretty much poorly written fan fiction even to the extent that the author labels her chapters with whose POV is being told as opposed to creating a unique voice for each of the main characters.
The premise that brings the H/h together as devised by this author, is wholly unbelievable and the dialogue, especially through the first half of the novel has all the sophistication of giggly adolescent girls at a slumber party. The two main characters through the first half aren’t even very likable because the author tries too hard to illustrate the differences between them. The secondary characters are window dressing and disappear when the ‘hot and heavy’ begins with the main characters.
Bottom line: The only reason this gets two stars is that the “villain” complicating Darcy’s life is a bit of a surprise. Beyond that, I’m fairly certain that Jane Austen would not be flattered by this poor imitation.

Find You in Paris
This romance is set in Paris (of course) and has things advancing the story on almost every page. There are secrets, broken homes, and a fake marriage. Loved every page. Sometimes I rush through a page (usually sex scenes) but I was hanging on every page and every word.
Raphael’s Fling
I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. Everyone knows how office romances go in books and how they go in real life. Lately, it seems as if I pick all the sad books to review. There was a short bit of sadness, but I survived it. It is a well written, flowing nicely book with Mia’s circumstances being realistic.
The Perfect Catch
I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. I loved the book. The strong woman that I like to see in most of the books I read is here. She has the rest of her life planned out. Of course, something derails her plans or does it? There are interfering people and a crazy dog in this story. Love animals who actually are part of the story. There are more bumps in the road to their HEA (happily ever after for those who are new to this abbreviation).

I tried, I really tried
I thought I picked a bargain getting the complete series of the Darcy brothers, with promising reviews I looked forward to the read.
However after barely getting to the end of the first book, I got to chapter 4 in book two and had to cut my losses. I felt like it read as a book translated, the flow was all off and points skipped over, for example Sebastian waited while Diane’s sister recovered from being shot.... and that was it no back story into how/why her sister was shot.
The thought of reading the other books put me off and I very rarely stop reading a series part way through

Grab this collection and get started reading it. I was awed by the stories. This is my first time to read Alix Nichols’s books. She comes across as a great storyteller. Each book grows the story until you find about all the questions that have been building up in the series. It is funny and suspenseful with enough twist to keep you interested. I read them all in one setting. Alix you build the story and characters to where they intertwine with each other on an awesome level. I received an ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review.

I am an unabashed fan of Alix Nichols and her snarky, strong heroines and delicious heroes. Her heroines are smart and sassy, her heroes equally smart--although not necessarily about relationships. And the stories are set in Paris. I had the pleasure of reading each of these tales as they came out, but, lucky you, you can consume them one after the other like really great popcorn! Three brothers with a twisted family dynamic have become adults and must find their own lives--and loves--while resolving the past:
Find You in Paris (The Darcy Brothers #1)
If you are familiar with her "Bistro La Bohème" series you will recognize many of the secondary characters of this book but, if it is the first of her novels you've had the pleasure to read, the story and characters absolutely stand strongly alone and the plot is worthy of Agatha Christie as you untangle the clues to discover the villain. Meanwhile it is a delightful romance with a French flair that will have you checking airfares to Paris. I am also somehow craving a chance to taste "coucougnettes."
Raphael's Fling (The Darcy Brothers #2)
Reared by loving but strict and religious parents, Mia cannot fathom how to tell them of her fall from grace while in college plus the further situation in which she now finds herself; and now the merde is about to fly. Interweaving several layers of complexity with descriptions of Paris and food . . . of course there's fabulous food, and even an ode to a baguette! . . . this tale will have you laughing and crying with Mia as she struggles for control of her life.
The Perfect Catch (The Darcy Brothers, #3)
Again, many of the "La Boheme" set make cameo appearances but if you haven't read those tales, although you do yourself a disservice (funny, snarky, delightful!), you have not affected your ability to enjoy Noah and Sophie's story. But without some of the background of Sebastian and Rafael the depth of the chasm splitting the family is somewhat flattened although the basics of the novel stand well on their own. Of course, since you have the entire series here, you are in the know! The dry wit, Parisian charm and magic PLUS The Conch Republic? (Gotta love Key West!) Throw in a jug of wine--or perhaps an entire vineyard?

1. Find You In Paris
I thought this was going to be the typical fake marriage of convenience, fall in love, and end with a HEA.
This book had a slight twist. There was a little mystery, suspense, and intrigue. My initial thoughts about Sebastian changed over time. Diane was not my favorite person, but she grew on me after some time.
I can also envision a story about both of the other "Darcy" brothers. What is the mystery behind Noah never making an appearance? What is the backstory regarding Raphael and the girl at the party? Will the secret ever come to light?
This was not a cliffhanger. The author provided enough questions and detail for a few additional books. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
2. Raphael's Fling
I really enjoyed this book, and was very pleasantly surprised. Mia, had a fling with Raphael, the CEO of the company where she was employed. That is the bare bones of the book.
This book was so much more. There were unexpected twists and turns. There were surprising layers to Raphael. You got to experience the full gambit of Mia's emotions while she worked through her relationships with Raphael and her parents. Eva had a great relationship with her sister and a solid relationship with her parents, although she didn't quite believe it.
I liked Mia and Raphael. I liked that they liked each other. Their conversations were humorous. Their chemistry was great. I would definitely recommend this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
3. The Perfect Catch
I was able to read this book in one sitting. This book was interesting. Noah and Sophie were attracted to each other, and seemed to have this underlying heat between them. Almost like it was on simmer, ready to book over. They were cute together, slightly hesitant and a tad vulnerable.
There were a couple of unexpected twists. I wish we could have experienced the conversation Sophie had with her father, that I imagine was similar to the one Noah had with his father.
The Perfect Catch started out a little slow for me, but then picked up a bit. This is the third in the series. My favorite is still number two, Raphael's Fling.

The D'Arcy brothers are equally as hot and sexy as they are intense and traumatised. Their parents' tumultuous relationship truly did each of them a major injustice that is easily first reflected in the way they interacted with all the women who preceeded the ones that stole their hearts and then more exposed once they find their loves.
Funny enough, the two older brothers had awful reputations (business and pleasure), but were truly genuine and gentlemanly as their societal status and wealth dictates, while also being smart businessmen. The younger D'Arcy lived such a restrictive and manipulated life away from his siblings, that he didn't have the same type of allegations to defend. But his decision-making in all things was heavily warped by the solo upbringing with his mother, whose love came with more conditions and expectations and interference that Noah took far too long to realise.
And it would be remiss not to acknowledge that Marguerite didn't only attempt to control and destroy her children's love for each other, but also their relationship with their father and her marriage tobtheir father. Madame D'Arcy was forever plotting and scheming to achieve her own goals, even at the expense of her family.
I will say that I wasn't a fan of any of the FMCs in this set at all, simply because Diane, Mia and Sophie seemed to delight in living in the land of miscommunication, assumptions and ignorance. I constantly felt like reaching through the book and slapping them for their unnecessary responses to their respective D'Arcy man's attempts to earn their love, without setting themselves up for heartache. But each woman's come home moment was beautifully executed so ultimately, the HEA came together as it should, and the women stepped into the emotionally mature partners they needed to be.

Totally enjoyed this series. Being a huge fan of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', I was pleased that this inspried Book One of the series was just as entertaining. Sebastian and Diane are a great enemies to lovers couple. The serious and brooding Sebastian enlists Diane, the fiesty and brutally honest woman of a lower social class who despises him, to uncover who is out to sabotage his life. Their dialogue and interactions are fun, witty, and full of sexual tension. Perfect!
Book Two is about Raphael and Mia. In this story, I admit that I did not like Mia. She's exceptionaly smart, obviously, going for her PhD but, her thoughts and actions seem whiny and not confident especially while engaging in a clandestine affair with Raphael. I also, wanted to hit Mia upside the head for all of her lies. Lies never work, as smart as she is, you would think that it would be a no brainer. And, don't get me wrong, Raphael seems clueless to Mia's feelings and reactions either because he is completely clueless or, he just doesn't care. In the end, there is a happy ever after but, it felt too long coming.
Noah and Sophie's story in Book Three is charming. Noah is a sweetheart. He is exceptional with Sophie as their friendship grows into an intimate relationship. The only problem is all of Noah's lies. Once again...lies catch up to you and at the least opportune moment, as in the case with Noah and Sophie. It also doesn't help when your mother (Noah's) and father (Sophie's) manipulate the situation in their favor and not in the best interests of Noah and Sophie. I love their story and it is a great conclusion to the series.

Das Liebesroman Bundle "Die Darcy Brüder Serie" aus der Feder von Alix Nichols, nimmt die Leserschaft mit auf gleich drei Lovestories der drei französischen Aristokratengeschwistern der D'Arcy-Familie - Sebastian, Raphael und Noah. Man kann die Teile natürlich unabhängig voneinander lesen, aber ich persönlich finde es besser sie nacheinander zu lesen, da immer mal wieder ein paar Einblicke der anderen zu lesen gibt.

Der Schreibstil war in Ordnung, es haben sich nur viele Rechtschreibfehler dazwischen geschoben... Die Geschichten an sich waren amüsant, kurz und knackig, ohne jegliche Aufklärungen, oftmals sehr geradlinig & vorhersehbar gehalten.

Diane, Mia & Sophie find The Darcy Brother’s, Sebastian, Raphael & Noah perfect for them respectively.
Find You in Paris is my first experience with this author and she is fabulous! Diane is a working stiff/photographer wanna be who is the daughter of the man Sebastian Darcy ruined, so she believes. Sebastian is the son, so he believes, of the father who made a mistake and toppled his marriage and nearly his legacy. This is a steamy and cute romance that I know you will enjoy!
Raphael's Fling is another excellent steamy romance by an excellent romance author! Mia had a rough college experience but she hung in there to get her PHD. Meanwhile, Raphael sweeps her off her feet and right into motherhood. I really love all the twists and turns that make this such a great romance! It is a great beginning for the Darcy brothers!
The more romances that this author writes, the more that I appreciate her writing. In The Perfect Catch, Sophie is a real estate intern in Paris. Noah is the youngest of the Darcy brothers who was kept away from his brothers by their mother. They meet while Noah is playing water polo but he decides to work delivering pizza even though he is wealthy. He hides who he is from Sophie because he does not want it to interfere with their budding relationship until it blows up in their face.

J’ai adoré cette trilogie.
C’est l’histoire des frères Darcy.
-Le premier tome, inspiré d'Orgueil et Préjugés, se passe de nos jours à Paris, Sébastien "Darcy" est parfumeur et "Diane", caissière de supérette.
Leur histoire n’est pas gagnée d’avance: il est question d’un faux mariage, de haine, de vengeance, de secret, mais si vous connaissez O&P, vous savez que malgré tous ces obstacles, l'histoire finira bien <3
C'est frais, amusant, agréable à lire, j’ai adoré.
-Le second tome concerne Raphaël Darcy, un charmant Don Juan et Mia, une étudiante, employée dans la société de Raphaël.
Quand un renne rencontre un bonhomme de neige, c’est chaud!
Histoire secrète, menaces bien réelles et passé qui pourrait tout ruiner pour Mia.
Cette histoire est prenante, attendrissante, parfois un peu stressante.
-Dans le dernier tome, on rencontre enfin Noé, le frère le plus "secret", celui dont on entend parler depuis le tome 1 et Sophie, américaine en stage dans une agence immobilière pour 6 mois.
Raphaël a coupé les ponts avec ses 2 frères, il fait partie de l’équipe de water-polo de Paris et il vit avec son chien. Sophie a quelques difficultés avec le sexe opposé.
On croise beaucoup de personnages secondaires des tomes précédents, et on rencontre même des personnages de la série suivante: "Jeux Dangereux", que je vous conseille également <3
J’ai passé un très bon moment avec cette fratrie, mon couple chouchou est celui du tome 1 ;-)

The first is loosely adapted from Pride and Prejudice, with Diane and Sebastian as enemies who are thrown together by Sebastian's plan to expose his nemesis by arranging a fake engagement and marriage with Diane. This story was beautifully done with intense sexual attraction despite their initial feelings. The gradual change in their opinions of each other was perfectly written. I loved that Diane was also able to pursue her art, and I loved how that art was used to move their relationship along - both their physical and emotional connection.
The second brother's story was good in it's own right, though not as satisfying as the first. Raphael and Mia are terrific together, though I thought his change of heart at the end was a bit rushed and unexplained.
Noah's story was the most angsty. He had good reason to be estranged from his brothers, and he crafted a new identity to separate himself from the confines of his heritage. By the time he realizes that he wants Sophie to know the real him, it might be too late. The boys' mother is seen more in this story, and while her role is well-written, she's not a sympathetic character. The HEA of this story neatly wraps up all three stories.
I enjoyed reading each story, and am glad I got them as a set as they really are better read together. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

A fabulous box set with all three of the Darcy brothers in one place! A treat of gift that keeps on giving!!
The first book is eldest brother Sebastian's story, who meets Diane the daughter of a business man whose business he had inadvertently helped destroy... Not a recipe for a happily ever after, but a business arrangement, a mystery to solve and a fake relationship give them time to get to know each other - and wow do these characters have chemistry!
The second book is about middle brother Raphael and Mia who meets at the Xmas party... He is fun loving and charismatic but not really relationship material. This book still has such spirit and raw sex appeal, it is fun and steamy, but the traumas and angst suffered by Mia gives it great depth and thank goodness Raphael rises to the challenge.
The final book is for Noah and his sweet Sophie. This may have been my favourite despite taking a serious dislike to one of the characters (I won't say who so I don't spoil anything). There is fun and intrigue and steamy romance, just like the other other books, but there such joy in seeing Noah grow as you know he has met his soul mate - you finish the book and the series, and your mind just goes 'aaaahh' (so content)!!
